A BIG METEOR.
IL Startles the People ON the
Streets.

At about 10 minutes past seven
O'Clock last evening, the people on
the streets we're startled by the ap-
pearance in the Southern sky of a
very large and brilliant meteor. 1t
was observed just as it reached the
atmosphere surrounding the earth,
and as it passed through the air and
came nearer it grew in size until it
was nearly as large in appearance as
the moon. When it had reached this
size it suddenly burst and the pieces
of which there were large number
continued their flight downwards.
The light of the meteor when first
observed was white and similar to
that cast by an electric light, land when
it burst the whole city as seen from
the Second street mill seemed
to be illumined as by an cleo
trio fash. The light wai
very brilliant at this time and if there
had been time fine print could have
been read. 1t passed 80 quickly, how.
ever, that the eyes of the watchers
were dazzled. The pieces of the me.
teor gradually lost their brilliancy
and became duller and duller, until
lost to view seemingly but short dis
tance from the earth. There was nc
report from the bursting Of the me-
teor, which some seemed to expect
would follow. Altogether this was
one Of the most beautiful, as we'll al
singular sights seen in this city.
